 Jackie Maloney and Linnett Short want to come to your home to get you excited about entertaining. The pair are Taste of Home Entertainment consultants, representing a line of quality products for cooking and serving and displaying food. They find women to host parties which they run themselves, and the people who have attended have been impressed enough to want to host themselves. "We hosted an open house, invited all of our friends, everyone we knew," Short says. "They came, we got a couple bookings from that and with one of those, we got four bookings. We get bookings from each booking."
Taste of Home Entertainment is a new company owned by Reader's Digest that opened nationally last May. Maloney and Short are currently the only Ithaca consultants and say they are looking for more. As a new company part of their challenge is letting people know the company exists. The pair has built their business slowly, depending on word of mouth to build up to about one sales party per week. Their goal is to double that. Most of the parties are in the Ithaca area, but they have booked as far as Vestal and Burdett.

 Dr. Digit 'Splains It All
When I was a software developer it didn't take long to learn that you make your money in upgrades. Once you have a decent sized user base you release a new upgrade at a reduced price when you need income. Assuming you provide value each time, most users buy it -- or enough to make it worthwhile. Microsoft has a mixed record in that regard. For example, a lot of people thought Millenium Edition (ME) was released only because 2000 wasn't consumer friendly enough and XP wasn't ready. My family still has a computer with ME on it. Yecch!
But my inner geek always wants the latest and greatest. Better looking, better working, newer, better gadgets. Hardware and software. So it was with some interest that I went to Best Buy with a friend last night to see what Vista looks like. From all the hype I thought it might be too different, but from what we could see in an admittedly fast first look Vista is just Windows, but prettier. Or should I say more graphically able? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

After a loved one dies, you'll have to cope with grief. And yet, if you have even partial responsibility for settling an estate, you have no choice but to focus on some financial matters. By handling these issues as efficiently as possible, you can help ease some of the strain that everyone in your family is feeling. Ideally, of course, you should learn as much as you can about your loved one's financial affairs while he or she is still alive. This may not be a comfortable conversation to have, but it's necessary. If you have a good relationship, you should be able to ask sensitive questions, such as: Do you have a will? What about a living trust? Do you have a safe deposit box? What are the names of your brokerage and bank? The more you know about your loved one's situation, the better off you will be when it's time to deal with the estate.
